Flexible data security

The database solution includes traditional support for access permissions. Each user has a unique username and password. Basically, users can have “no access”, “read access”, and/or “write access” to specified areas of data.

The access rights are defined on the on the folder level of the data structure. Different access rights can be given to each folder, resulting in a very flexible data security architecture.

From an administrative point of view this is very important since it gives even more control of the data and who can edit it. The access privilege model is based on users, user-groups, and privileges attached to the "directories" in the database.

The directory of users can either be CLC Authentication Directory (running in the same DB instance as the Bioinformatics Database) or an LDAP implementation like Microsoft Active Directory.
